This week I found myself suddenly caught off guard by the fact that I am officially 31 weeks along. A large part of the reason I was taken by surprise is because as of April 17th it was STILL SNOWING. We had flurries (and some accumulation!) nearly every day last week, which gave the illusion of June being much further away than it actually is.
